title: Improved expanding ring technique for determining dynamic material properties.
abstract: An improved expanding ring experimental technique has been described to determine dynamic material properties under conditions approximating uniform one-dimensional tensile loading. There are mainly explosive expanding ring technique and electromagnetic expanding ring technique currently, for which exist many limitations in practical applications. The work reported herein is an attempt to overcome this difficulty by lateral efficiency loading produced by projectile, made of low-density material, impacting the same material filling. The lateral efficiency loading is a convenient and effective method, which allows materials to be in uniform uniaxial stress conditions at a high stress rate. The procedure is illustrated by experiments performed on 1100-0 aluminum rings.
